    Summary

    Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".

    Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.

     

    Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.

     

    OR

     

    Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

    Summary

    Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.

    He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.

    Parental supervision is for losers.

    Summary

    "You just turned fourteen a few weeks ago, right?” Jason whistled. “And I thought I died young.”

    Tim shook his head. Took a step back.

    No. Nope. No way.

    This was not happening.

    Or: After Tim dies, his soul remains stuck as a ghost at the Manor. Forced to watch Dick and Bruce grieve him and unable to do anything, the only thing making the afterlife bearable is Jason. Until the day his ghost departs. 

     

    Tim assumes that Jason has passed on. But then the Red Hood breaks into the Cave. And for the first time, someone can see Tim.

     

    Note: This fic is an emotional rollercoaster, and if you would like to see if you are tall enough to ride this ride, you can check the a/n at the beginning of ch 1!!

    Also, this is technically a sequel to the first fic in this series, but you only need to read the one-shot if you want to experience the night Tim dies. You can 100% start here!!

    Summary

    Unknown number has sent 1 image, the banner reads. That’s right. The Replacement had said he was into photography or something. Another buzz comes in as Jason is double checking the daggers shoved into his boots. And then another. And another. It’s incessant. With a huff, Jason opens the phone back up to idly stroll through the stream of Dick’s inconsistently punctuated texts.

    Tim what is this

    Where are you

    You said you had homework??????

    Hello????

    Well, he seems a little distressed.

    Jason scrolls back up to the top of the chat, ignoring Dick’s incoming messages to take a closer look at the inciting image. It’s blurry and dark. Jason has to hold the phone ridiculously close to his face just to make it out. A green-gloved hand gives a thumbs-up over a piece of wet pavement. Jason squints closer. It’s not just wet. It’s a deep, slick red.

    Cool. Whose blood is that? Jason asks. Dick’s response is immediate: NOT HELPING JAY.

    ***

    Jason, Dick, and Tim learn about communication.
